I do not care about delay of the first flight, but I want the B787 to be as perfect and safe as it can be!

@stephenzenaida i have two buddies when we were in high school we went out to the local air force base and joined the civil air patrol, they had a pilot training program, my mom couldnt afford to drive me everyday so i had to quit, but my two buddies kept going in the CAP, eventually they became ROTC, then they went to college and also wrote to the congressman, and got accepted to the air force academy , now one flies the F-15 eagle,my other friend became aC17 pilot, and flies for alaska air

i have a question for you, what exactly do you do for a living?, are you a student?, are you studying aeronautical engineering?how do you get by? i mean are you trying to make your way into a career with Boeing, i understand your love for aircraft, i also love airplanes, but what are you doing about it? do you want to become a pilot? if you are still young, you should join the air force and become a pilot, thats the best way to get a job as an airline pilot,

[marshalllucky]

what are you blabbering on about, thats just a toy plane and you are just talking words, I dont think anyone would hire you as a spokesman, you are very dull ;-)

[sketchman1981]

Dude, I work on the 787, and have the larger model, it's not accurate as far as proportions. the one you have looks good though. It's a very interesting plane to work on. As soon as they hit the runways commercially you people will love it.

[Carpetsniff]

Fake and gay!!!! Nah just kidding.. So that explains the delay.. You're a nerd but the only exception is that you like airplanes..the cool side of it.
